So we went for a walk, an expedition, an adventure - with Johanna in the backpack. We we went up the hill and through the woods to a place I have never been before, a place where we thought we might find lots of bluebells, a place called Riding Woods.
And we did. We found lots and lots of bluebells.
And we found the entrance to a coal mine
that looked a bit like a hobbit prison.
And we found a swing
that looked very adventurous.
And we found nice little tracks through the woods
and lovely little dry stone walls.
[Bluebells are called Atlantisches Hasenglockchen in German.]
More beautiful bluebell pictures and a lovely post on Rona Wheeldon's blog Flowerona here.
Thanks for taking us along with you on your walk,what a beautiful place!phyllis
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful! Did you ever see the movie 'Howard's End'? There's a scene where one of the main characters, Leonard Bast, is walking through a forest where the ground was just covered in bluebells; it was a foggy morning and you hear his voiceover recalling poetry -one of my most favorite movie scenes ever!
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend the film (has Emma Thompson, Helena Bonham Carter and Anthony Hopkins); it's on my top 5 favorites and is one of the few films made exactly as the book is written (also one of my faves).
